Kuwait’s economy rests on oil, and petroleum engineering is one of the most sought-after fields of study in the country. Kuwait City hosts Kuwait University, the country’s main public university.
The university’s College of Engineering and Petroleum was established in 1974. Its official page lists the petroleum engineering bachelor’s programme among its EAC/ABET-accredited programmes. Students considering petroleum engineering in Kuwait should check the college’s current offerings, since this guide could not verify a specific petroleum engineering master’s programme by name.
The original version of this article claimed that Kuwait produces 6 percent of the world’s crude oil and named a specific master’s programme with enrollment statistics. The production figure is wrong, and the named programme and statistics could not be verified, so they have been removed.
